Oh, this is hard. Celeste Ng is probably the closest to my all time favorite.

The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Mooreor
I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara
I don't read a lot of non-fiction.
The book that made me laugh was A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail which makes it one of my favorites.

I've only read one in the Narnia series and it was The Magician's Nephew. I loved it!

The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire LombardoI've heard great things about this book! It's a chunk, but I'm excited to dive in.
The last book that I added to my TBR list was The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams. But that doesn't mean it will be the next book that I read. There are currently 640 books on my list. Might read Scarface by Armitage Trail next, or at least this month.

I need to read this one as well.
Mod
The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams is on my TBR too.

I read Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin many, many, many years after seeing the movie. Now I want to watch the movie again.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong <-- Didn't really enjoy how odd it was. Dig by A.S. King <-- This is a good weird though. I actually really enjoyed this one.
Mod
The ugliest one I can think of is the edition of Animal Farm that I read.
Mod
Not sure. My parents had us reading from a very young age. Maybe, Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman. I remember loving that one.
I haven't always been fond of reading. I read a ton as a kid, but my middle school years were lacking in the reading department. High school I read a book or two here and there. I'd say Junie B. Jones when I was a kid. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho got me into reading as an adult.

I started a graphic novel series called Saga, and I'm happy I didn't finish it.

Hands down Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. There is a lot of action off planet, but it is all about this one planet. This is one of my favorite books of all time. Highly recommended it to all Sci Fi fans.
I have read a couple books set on a different planet/in space. All Systems Red by Martha Wells is hands down my favorite. I wouldn't recommend this one if you're just starting out with Science Fiction. It gets a little complicated with the terminology used. I don't think I have one that I highly recommend other than that. There is Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, but I didn't like it all that much.
Mod
I typically read late afternoon and bedtime.
Mod
Four bookshelves. And they are used for bric-a-brac and dvds too.

Krystyna wrote: "31. How many books do you own?"I have to own at least 200 books. If not, then very close.
